Where do I start. 3 years ago, I could not imagine my child attending any other place, this was home for us. After about a year and a half, when my daughter transitioned to pre-primary, we noticed a significant decline in care and services. The staff was rude, no communication, acting as if we were a bother when we would ask how our child's day was, her developmental milestones, anything was a bother. We could not go into her classroom to see what she was working on. I was told that I was "not allowed" in the classroom. I had a very uneasy feeling and questioned my daughter's safety. Not that they would harm her, but the fear of them not paying enough attention to her and monitoring her ( This was due to lack of communication and blatant rudeness)This was reported to the director several times, and we all discussed it and thought we had come to an understanding. Absolutely nothing changed. We noticed that the director stopped speaking to us at all. After that, my husband and I waited to see if things would get better. It never did. I had no idea what my daughter was learning, no updates, no communication at all. We then had another meeting with the director and she stated that these are the expectations, and we needed to adjust. We continued to be patient because we knew our daughter was transitioning again to Primary. Primary was pretty much the same. No communication. I am a teacher as well so teacher-parent communication is vital. My daughter was covered in a rash one evening and I messaged admin and staff on a Friday at 4:30pm (they close at 6:00pm)asking what she had eaten because she broke-out in a serious rash. No response. My husband saw her teacher that following Monday morning and she said " Oh, she didn't eat anything" Our concern was that it could have been very serious, and they showed no concern at all. I would not have had to ask them what she had eaten if they kept a daily record for the child. Once your child gets to Primary, there is no documentation on your child at all. They barely tell you when your child had an injury. I signed an injury form one day that I had no knowledge about. The staff need more training and are not very knowledgeable about child development and education. This is not a quality child development center, and the standards need to be set higher. It is simply just a daycare. Beware.My daughter no longer attends Camden Hill Montessori, we removed her 1 week ago. Removing her was the best decision we've made for her development and education.

We LOVE Camden Hill Montessori and highly recommend taking your kids here if you want them to have a good foundation for learning. As an educator myself, I have very high expectations for my children. Camden Hill has exceeded all expectations that my husband and I have time and time again. Our son is currently in the Pre-Primary room and adores his teachers. They are always so kind, patient, and loving. Our daughter is currently in the infant room and we absolutely love her teachers as well. They take amazing care of her and we never have to worry while she is there. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about all of the staff at Camden Hill. Moving our children here has been the best parenting decision my husband and I have made and it is worth every penny! It is truly a blessing to be apart of the Camden Hill family.

As a mother, you don't want to leave your kids in anyone's care but your own. I interviewed no less than 12 schools before deciding on Camden Hill and I will tell you what made the decision easy. (1) Kim, the Director of Camden is warm and inviting and just makes you feel like you've made the right choice and she will take great care of your children (2) Ticia (preschool instructor), she is structured in learning and gently ensures there is discipline in each room so that the children can focus on not only learning but good daily behaviors as a person and (3) Amy (infant lover), she is the motherly figure that you want taking care of your little one as you transition back to work. These ladies make the difficult decision of leaving your children in the care of others easy. Thanks for being you ladies.

Camden Hill has been such a blessing for our Daughter and our family. She grew leaps and bounds after starting. She went from a shy 2.5 year old that didn't talk much to an outgoing self confidence young girl. You can genuinely tell that the teachers, assistants and administration love what they do and love the kids. We have been with them since they opened and would recommend it to anyone.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Our son started at Camden Hill in November and he has grown and learned so much. The director and teachers care for him like their own. There is always an open door and open line of communication between us and the staff whenever there is a need. We consider the Camden Hill team our family. Also let me add they were awarded the top private school in Carrollton this year! Just saying!

We love CHM! We've been there for a little over a year now, since my little one was just 2 months old and have had a seamless transition from home, and from their Infant class to the Transition class my son is now in. I'm so thankful for their attentiveness to our child, their communication about his daily activity and their willingness to help a working mom and dad feel 100% comfortable leaving their child for 8 hours a day. I can't imagine our family being anywhere else.

My daughter has been going there for four months now and She loves her school. She thinks the teachers such as Tohra from Prime 2 "are so beautiful". I can tell the progress she has made in terms of communication, life skills and knowledge in general.
